{"product_id":"9781398122130","title":"Buses: Old Technology Refined","description":"Despite all the current hype making people believe that electric and hybrid vehicles are a staggering present-day breakthrough in the quest for a carbon-zero future, both are, in fact, old technology introduced over 100 years ago that has been refined. This book takes a look at how gas, hybrid and electric propulsion has been redeveloped after disappearing during the twentieth century and is now regarded as ‘the future’. Although not intended to be a definitive history of public road transport in the UK, within its pages are several other technological and vehicle design developments that made their debut over a century ago and have made a return in recent years, all of which are illustrated and described to provide a fascinating insight into how things have continued to change.","brand":"Amberley Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46277974589681,"sku":"9781398122130","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781398122130_p0.jpg?v=1765267605","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781398122130","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
